The Highmark Caring Place, a Center for Grieving Children, Adolescents and Their Families, is dedicated to grieving children and families, working to ensure that they find hope. The Caring Place champions the cause of grieving children by creating awareness of their needs, providing programs for grieving children and families, and empowering the community to effectively serve grieving children. |
Camp Dragonfly is a free summer-weekend bereavement camp for children ages 6-12. On the surface, it’s much like any other camp. Kids and their buddies sleep in enclosed cabins on bunks. They play games, make crafts, swim, go boating and gather around the evening campfire. But at this camp each child is paired with an adult "big buddy," a specially trained volunteer who provides companionship, support and supervision throughout the weekend. Medical staff is on site throughout the weekend. |
